Dearborn Dentistry

I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time, but the staff at Dearborn Dentistry put me at ease with friendliness and humor, and they never made me feel guilty for my lapse in dental care. I intend to continue going back for all my dental needs as long as I live in Chicago, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Yeah, after your comment, I’m still sticking to the point that you sell services that are not needed and actually do no good for your patient. Upsell after upsell, I’m sure if your patients seek a second opinion they will have the same findings…
Try to be honest instead of ripping off your patients and their insurance.

I had a great experience at Dearborn Dentistry. Dr. Quinn is fantastic. I was having a tooth extracted and I was extremely nervous about the procedure. Dr. Quinn was very calm and reassuring, he has a bed-​side manner unmatched by any other dentist I have ever seen. Throughout the procedure he kept asking me if I was okay, if everything was okay. He & his assistant were very gentle, very professional, the entire procedure lasted about 20 minutes throughout which Dr. Quinn expressed great concern for my well being. I was very pleasantly surprised when Dr. Quinn informed me that we were finished! I didn’t feel a thing, the extraction was successful and I left feeling fine. If you are looking for a fabulous dentist with a great support staff, Dearborn Dentistry and Dr. Quinn is your guy.

We have gone to Dr. Quinn for many years and have always had a good experience with him and his helpful staff.

Staff was very friendly, and were great at accommodating my changing schedule. Doctor and hygienist did a great job of explaining what they were doing during the cleaning and exam, moreso than any dentist appointment I’ve ever been to and in a way that eased the anxiety of what can sometimes be an unpleasant experience.

Nobody loves going to the dentist. I think most people really put it off. I had my first appointment here today, and had the best dentist appointment I’ve had. I made the appointment based on the great reviews, and they definitely lived up to my expectations.
I am a busy professional, and I felt like they really valued my time. Amy made my appointment based on my odd work schedule, and I was seen on time. She was very pleasant to work with. When I came in she even referenced the conversation we had when I called, which just added to making me feel valued. My X-​rays were taken efficiently. The hygienist was incredibly gentle and knowledgeable. She was fantastic, in fact. I usually hate hate hate the sensitivity of the cleaning, but this was the best it’s ever been. Dr Shah was also great.
I totally recommend this place. I’ll be back for my scheduled check up, and I won’t need to put it off!

Very friendly staff. I enjoy coming back and get great care. Location in the Loop is very convenient as well.

I am pretty picky with dentists since I am like most people and don’t like going to the dentist. But I have gone here a year now and this place really is pretty great for being a dentist office!
This is probably for kids, but I love that their ceiling lights actually have pictures on them like hot air balloons and little cut animals. Gives you something to stare at and think about while they are flossing, polishing, whatever else it is they might be doing. Also everyone here seems genuinely happy to be working there. They remember you when you come in, they have always been on time for my appointments and I finish earlier than I usually plan to, and I feel like they are all very honest dentists too. They came up with a plan for me during my first visit to help me manage the things we need to do to keep my teeth healthy which I really like. They also have a referral program where if you refer people you can get a credit on your account as well which I just think is a good business practice.
They take most insurance, are a laid back environment, text message appointment reminders, everyone seems really knowledgeable here too, overall I am happy that I found this dentist in the South Loop and I will continue to be going to them!

This was easily the most pleasant dental appointment I have had since I was a child. I hate the dentist with an indescribable passion. In fact, I haven’t been to the dentist in over a year and a half flowing a disastrous appointment elsewhere (see my review for Aria Dental).
I found Dearborn through my insurance provider, and visited Unilocal for reviews before calling to make an appointment. There is a reason this place is rated so well. There are few praises I can sing that haven’t already been sung, but this staff was excellent from start to finish.
I called to make my appointment, and Kathy gave me a few heads up of what to expect. She told me that they like to do a full exam of new patients, and it could take a few hours. She told me the paperwork would take some time to complete, so she provided it to me in advance. She even called back to check my insurance information because she couldn’t find me in the system.
Not one person made me feel guilty for going so long in between check-​ups, but they did encourage me to come more often (I even made my 6-​month appointment in advance!). Everyone was kind, and seemed happy to be at work — always smiling. They also told me what to expect every step of the way. This includes Dr. Shah, who checked on me a few times.
I’m 29 years old, and I know how a dental check-​up works — but I truly appreciated this attention to detail. It made me feel like they respected my time, and they wanted to keep me in the loop instead of just waiting for an indefinite amount of time. My appointment did last for 2.5 hours as promised, but I had no idea it was so long until I left.
What really sold me on that 5^th star was the end of my appointment. Instead of standing on one side of the counter to settle-​up, they had me sit down at a desk. It was a quick 90-​seconds, but it made me feel valued as a patient. For the first time in my life, I am actually looking forward to my next dental appointment.

Excellent dentistry. The staff is friendly and communicative and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable with everything they’re doing. They’re forthright about what you need to do to take care of your teeth, but they’re also willing to work within your limitations.
I had one of the best, easiest, and fastest fillings of my life here. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone.

I have been a patient of Dearborn Dentistry since mid-​2000 and I have always been very happy with the service I am provided. The admin staff are helpful and friendly, the cleanings are quick and (relatively) painless, and the doctors have always had a great «bedside» manner. I’ve been there long enough that I’ve worked with numerous Drs and staff members and I’m consistently happy. Dr. Quinn takes an active interest in my dental health and comfort which is also very helpful. He even went so far as to write a letter to my insurance company when they wouldn’t approve a treatment I needed.

Dr. Quinn and his staff are not only skilled and professional, they are also extremely friendly! As someone who does not love going to the dentist, believe me when I say I actually enjoy my visits because of the people who work at Dearborn Dentistry. I would recommend this office to people of all ages and dental needs. In particular, Dr. Quinn’s expertise in equilibration is helping me overcome TMJ pain and problems I have had for over a decade. That combined with the skills of the hygienists, scheduling, and billing staff make DD an unbeatable dental office!

Found myself heading to Dearborn Dentistry based on a recommendation of a friend and glad I did. The x-​ray technician was quick and a delight. Kathy, the concierge was great walking me through everything and Dr. Shah was extremely personable and a pleasure to work with; as was Monica, the hygienist. I met Dr. Quinn briefly who seemed great as well. Looking forward to returning to Dearborn Dentistry (something I thought I would never say as I’ve hated the dentist).

I have been a client of Dearborn Dentistry for more than a decade, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing any level of dental care. They have always taken good care of me, and every aspect of the business (dentists, hygienists, administration, billing) runs like clockwork. They are the best!

I’ve come to enjoy being complimented on my smile. But even more importantly, I’ve come to know I smile more because I feel well/​am healthier thanks to having been to Dearborn Dentistry. I greatly appreciate the time Dr. John Quinn spent in educating me about needs I had for Equilibration, restoring some of my teeth with crowns, etc., and encouraging me throughout the process, doing followup as needed. It was invaluable to learn I didn’t have to live with discomfort. I highly recommend the communicating, caring, and competence of Dr. Quinn and Dearborn Dentistry!

I had a great experience at Dearborn Dentistry. From the moment I walked in everyone was warm and respectful. Unlike a lot of other dentists I’ve been to, they took the time to explain every detail and what my options for care were. Dr. Krell was very personable and the concierge Kathy was super friendly and made me feel completely comfortable.

I’ve been a patient for more than a year, and I’ve been very happy with their practice. When I first went in, I was put out because they want to do a lot of work on my teeth which previous dentists never brought up. What I’ve realized is that they’re really good with preventative services, and they’ve been way better than my previous dentists. Through all that work (fixing really old fillings), most of my teeth sensitivity has gone away, and my mouth feels a lot better. They also did the equilibration which has helped my jaw greatly and will prevent future problems. Dr. Quinn explains everything in detail with models, and you can tell he’s really into his work. He’s the first dentist who’s actually taught me about my teeth.
I think my other dentists just got me in and out for cleanings, and they never brought up any of these larger issues. They never went to these lengths to make sure I understood the work they were doing.
I also love that Kathy and the front office staff always make sure you know ahead of time how much you’ll have to pay out of pocket, and they’ll stay with the guidelines of how much your insurance allows each year. I definitely recommend them.

Called this place on a whim to schedule an appointment due to my wisdom teeth coming through my gums. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who guided me to the answers I needed, and gave me very honest answers about my insurance questions. She even went ahead and called my insurance company about my policy and called me back at my convenience about how much I’d have to pay out of pocket.
During my visit, the staff was very informative about my situation and outlined my options in addressing my wisdom teeth, and referred me to a great (and reasonably priced) dental specialist about my teeth.
Location is right off the red line Harrison stop. Very convenient to get to.
I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re a resident from out of state without a local dentist.

Dr. Quinn and the staff at Dearborn Dentistry are fantastic. Their service while I lived in Chicago was great, and Dr. Quinn knows way more about bruxism and bite problems than anyone I’ve ever seen (good for me since I grind like crazy).
When I had problems with a new crown, Dr. Quinn came in on a Sunday to see what had happened and replaced it immediately with a temporary until a new one was cast.
Shortly I moved back to Manhattan, I had a check-​up at a rather factory-​like dental office on my dental plan here that told me I had numerous cavities that needed to be filled and I needed a crown as well. In disbelief, I contacted Dr. Quinn, who extensively worked with another dentist in NYC who gave me a second opinion and who essentially told me that that place was full of you-​know-​what.
This place is the opposite of a factory. Seriously, the people who work here are so, so nice, dentists, nurses, and front desk staff alike. I can only hope to find another dentist as competent and caring in my lifetime!

After having a nightmare of a time at another dentist, my husband and I switched. The staff here is phenomenal. The office staff is abnormally nice and the hygienists are great and super pleasant to be around. Only complaint really is the upsell on fluoride treatments, etc. I’m 31, I don’t need fluoride! Also, if I go for a regular cleaning, insurance covers but the price of the filling I got that wasn’t covered was actually more expensive than other dentists and I have the same insurance. Overall a good experience but not perfect.
